I would like to remember and say a big thank you to you all at Battersea for pairing me up with the most wonderful dog that I cherished for the 14 years I had her. She was the most loyal, elegant and chilled dog once we got to know each other.

She gave me great companionship and was loved by all who met her.

A truly beautiful dog who I feel privileged to have had in my life.

I miss her sooooooo much but at nearly 16 years old, for a big dog, I think you will agree, is a good innings. She now lays at peace 4 feet down in my garden with a vegetable patch made over her in memory.

Rest in peace my beautiful Skye.
